In this guide, we'll explore how to apply GuanoBoost effectively to ensure your outdoor space flourishes throughout the summer months.

What is GuanoBoost?

GuanoBoost is an organic fertiliser made from the excrement of seabirds. It’s a rich source of essential nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, along with micronutrients like calcium, magnesium and sulphur. This natural fertiliser is prized by gardeners for its ability to promote healthy plant growth and improve soil quality.

Advantages of Using GuanoBoost

  • Natural and Organic: GuanoBoost is a completely natural and organic fertiliser, making it an eco-friendly choice for your garden.
  • Nutrient-Rich: It's packed with essential nutrients that plants need to grow, flower and produce fruits.
  • Slow Release: Unlike synthetic fertilisers, GuanoBoost releases nutrients slowly, providing a steady supply to your plants over time.
  • Improves Soil Structure: GuanoBoost enhances soil texture, moisture retention and aeration, promoting a healthier root system.
  • Environmentally Friendly: It's sustainable and does not harm the environment or water quality, making it a responsible choice for conscientious gardeners.

 

When to Apply GuanoBoost

To make the most of GuanoBoost in your summer garden, you should apply it at the right time:

  • Early Summer: Apply GuanoBoost early in the summer season. This timing ensures that your plants receive the essential nutrients they need for optimal growth during the summer heat.

 How to Apply GuanoBoost

Applying GuanoBoost is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Gather Your Supplies:

Before you begin, gather the following items:

  • GuanoBoost fertiliser
  • Gardening gloves
  • A spreader or a scoop for the granules
  • Watering can or hose

2. Determine the Application Rate:

Read the instructions on the GuanoBoost packaging to determine the recommended application rate. This will vary depending on the type of plants / grass or vegetables you have and the current state of your soil. 

3. Apply GuanoBoost:

Spread (granules) or spray (liquid) the GuanoBoost evenly over the soil around your plants or trees.

How to use GuanoBoost Pure Organic Granules:

  • Lawns, sports fields, golf course: Apply approximately 1 - 2 kg evenly per 30m2 . Ensure the lawn is cut short and preferably lightly spiked before application.
  • Fruit & Nuts: Apply generally 50 g on 5 kg tree / shrub depending on size. Sprinkle evenly in the basin area or in the root zone and mix into the soil with a garden fork approximately 15 cm deep.
  • Flowers: Apply 1kg evenly per 10m2 at the root zone. Avoid spreading the fertiliser on the flowers directly.
  • Vegetables: Apply 20 g per vegetable at planting, by making a small hole next to the plant and cover with soil afterwards. Avoid spreading the fertiliser on the leaves directly. On ALL of the above, irrigate with water thoroughly after application.
    Guanoboost Granules can be applied once a month.

How to use GuanoBoost Liquid:

  • Shake your GuanoBoost bottle and mix 1 part Guanoboost with 20 parts of water (For example use 1 litre GuanoBoost with 20 litres of water)
  • You can use the GuanoBoost sprayer Bottle, add GuanoBoost to your irrigation or pour the diluted mix onto the lawn with a watering can or compression sprayer.
  • Apply the mix to your lawn, trees, plants, flowers and vegetables once a month.

4. Water Thoroughly:

After applying GuanoBoost, water your garden thoroughly to help the nutrients penetrate the soil and reach the roots. This will also prevent any potential burning of the plants.

5. Monitor and Maintain:

Keep an eye on your garden throughout the summer. Depending on the rainfall and the needs of your plants, you may need to apply GuanoBoost periodically. Follow the packaging instructions for reapplication.

GuanoBoost is a fantastic natural fertiliser that can breathe new life into your garden during the summer months. By following these simple steps for application, you'll be well on your way to enjoying a thriving garden with lush, healthy plants and trees. Make this summer your best gardening season yet by giving GuanoBoost a try and watch your outdoor oasis flourish. Happy gardening!
